8.2.1 Search types:

- Any word: All those words have to be in the topic, otherwise it will not show up.

- At least a word: any topics containing this word will show up.

- Advanced search: You can build your search query by using specific operators “+” ( meaning «WITH) or “empty space” (meaning OR). In this case a search for “ +Windows 2000 +Linux” would mean: Windows AND 2000 OR 2000 ( this is an inclusive OR)

Search examples :

Topics that contain	Searching for at least one word: "Windows 2000 linux"	Searching for all the words: "Windows 2000 linux"	Advanced search: "+Windows 2000 +linux"
"windows 2000 VS linux"
"windows vs linux"
"windows 2000 updated"
"The new Windows has launched ! "
"linux vs the rest of the world"
« Let’s celebrate the new year 2000 »

Note

You cannot search for words less than 4 characters.

Your searches will not be case sensitive

The Joker : *, which means that "win*" would stand for either à "win" or "windows" in the search results. You can only use the Joker character at the end of a word : *dows will not work.
